Sculptures

I am a sculptor who loves immersing himself in larger than life scenes of beauty. I love becoming one with the wood, stone or metal letting it lead me where it wants me to go. It is with passion for life that keeps my soul and heart warm to the love that resides in all of us.

My sculptures, abstract or non-objective, are built upon a towering of shapes and forms. They reflect the collaboration of my life’s experiences and the way I perceive the world through my eyes...my sculptures symbolize the birth of a new form, not only physical form, but mentally as well. I hope you will find these reflecting qualities in my sculptures…qualities that will provide beauty and a relaxing aura. I hope you will find the same happiness and serenity in looking at my sculptures as I had in creating them.

The purpose of Santa Barbara Studio Artists Tour is to promote the interests of professional artists working in Santa Barbara and to increase public awareness of Santa Barbara as an important destination for art and culture.
